This doesn't seem wildly inconsistent with my understanding of Elon musk, in that he has a higher level of confidence of his understanding of the world than others would, and in a "you don't know what you don't know " way it seems he didn't know about custom how custom ASICs are much more efficient at specific tasks than a general purpose computer. Doesn't make him a bad person, and in fact something like that is exactly who you want leading a company trying to change the rules of the industry they're in, it's the job of the boots on the ground to exercise due diligence here.

- unityByFreedom 7y agoI don't understand this response to the above comment. You write, > it seems he didn't know about custom how custom ASICs are much more efficient at specific tasks than a general purpose computer Yet, Musk is clearly stating his new chip is state-of-the-art. He is not underselling it. > something like that is exactly who you want leading a company trying to change the rules of the industry they're in You want someone in charge who does not understand the hardware he's touting? > it's the job of the boots on the ground to exercise due diligence here Who are you referring to? Employees and investors? What, then, do you consider are the responsibilities of the CEO, if due diligence is not part of the job?
